Review Praise for Kaleidoscope: Kaleidoscope, Brian Selznicks brilliant new book, is a collection of magical, weird and mysterious stories... Each tale is accompanied by art, which, as weve come to expect from Selznick, is stunning... While each tale seems like a sliver of a larger story well never learn, we get the impression that were hearing the best part. There are no answers in this gorgeous book. There are just two of us -- Selznick and the reader -- lying side by side in the belly of a sphinx. Not trying to answer a riddle. Just appreciating being in the middle of one. -- Adam Gidwitz, The New York Times Book ReviewPraise for Baby Monkey, Private Eye: A New York Times Bestselling BookAn Amazon Best Book of the YearA Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the YearParents Magazine Best Early Reader of the YearA BookPage Best Book of the YearA News & Observer Best Book of the YearA marvel. -- The New York TimesInventive... fabulously expressive... -- San Francisco Chronicle...exceedingly cute... -- The Wall Street JournalSilly, endearing, and adventurous... -- The Washington PostAnother boundary-buster. -- San Diego Union TributeExquisite...
